Following on from my previous post where we spent breakfast at the rooftop cinema club and lunch by Tower Bridge<\/a>,\u00a0I\u00a0decided to try out another London pastime that has been part of this city for generations.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

ESCAPE THE HEAT<\/h2>\n

\"Clerkenwell<\/p>\n

First stop was Clerkenwell & Social<\/a><\/strong> in Farringdon, a new cocktail bar from the Marylebone Leisure Group (the guys behind The Marylebone, Primrose Hill’s The Princess of Wales, Barsmith nearby and two venues over in Uxbridge). The place has been fully redesigned and no longer looks like a classic bar it did previously; hanging lights and neon littered the interior while the benches outside were heaving with the bustling East London crowds.<\/p>\n

Krissy from Interlaced<\/strong> <\/a>and I decided to share a cheeseboard and a bottle of red wine which may have been a bit premature for a lunchtime session but in fairness cheese and cocktails just do not go together. As per usual many life stories, troubles and holiday plans were shared and Krissy mentioned something she picked up on during the Iris Apfel documentary with Lipton. The importance of experimentation with style, being yourself, being happy and staying curious.<\/p>\n

Curiosity and a sense of humor, according to Iris are fundamental qualities of life and it would be a waste to spend time with someone who does not appreciate this. I think that something about this quote really stuck with both of us.<\/p>\n
